Point Break returns to cinemas to celebrate its 35th Anniversary

Resurgence Media Group, Saga Arts, and Fathom Entertainment, the leading speciality distributor of content to theatrical partners worldwide, are bringing two-time Academy Award® winner Kathryn Bigelow’s acclaimed action thriller Point Break back to cinemas across the US, in celebration of its 35th anniversary on August 16 and 19. Starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, Point Break 35th Anniversary will be presented with a special, new 4K restoration.

In Los Angeles, a gang of bank robbers call themselves the Ex-Presidents and commit their crimes while wearing masks of Reagan, Carter, Nixon and Johnson. The FBI believes that the members of the gang could be surfers and sends young agent Johnny Utah (Reeves) undercover at the beach to mix with the surfers and gather information. As he is drawn deeper into the world of charismatic surfer Bodhi (Swayze) and his thrill-seeking crew, Utah must decide where his loyalties lie.

The two-day event invites longtime fans and first-time audiences to experience the adrenaline-fueled classic on the big screen, complete with an exclusive introduction from surfing legend Matt Archbold. A surf double for Patrick Swayze, Archbold also helped teach Reeves, Swayze, Anthony Kiedis and the other cast members to surf for the film. In the introduction, he shares behind-the-scenes stories from the production and reflects on the spirit of surfing, freedom and risk that runs throughout the film.

The theatrical return will be supported by a broader anniversary celebration across the surfing community, including special content from the World Surf League, SURFER Magazine, Men’s
Journal, FUEL TV and SURFER TV, Screen Rant, IGN, as well as a special collaboration with the U.S. Open of Surfing. “Few films have built a following as loyal as Point Break’s,” said Shannah Miller, VP of Marketing, Fathom Entertainment. “Thirty-five years after it first hit theatres, this newly restored 4K version gives that devoted following exactly what they’ve been asking for: Bodhi, Johnny Utah and those legendary surfing and skydiving sequences, back where they belong on the big screen.”

Directed by Academy Award® winner Kathryn Bigelow, Point Break stars Keanu Reeves as FBI agent Johnny Utah and Patrick Swayze as Bodhi, alongside Gary Busey, Lori Petty, John C. McGinley, James LeGros and Anthony Kiedis. More than three decades after its original release, the film remains a defining action classic, celebrated for its kinetic filmmaking, memorable performances, endlessly quotable dialogue and a fearless blend of crime, surfing and extreme sports.

Tickets for Point Break 35th Anniversary are available now online and at participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change).
